Please note, this product contains lead and is not suitable for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories. ## Description This Anderson Metals coupling compression tube fitting is made of brass, has a flared tube connection and a female NPT connection, and is suitable for use with fuel and gas systems. It is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. This fitting can be used with copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing to connect two tubes of the same diameter in a straight run. It has a flared tube connection on one end and a female National Pipe Taper (NPT) connection on the other, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is part of an assembly that resists mechanical pullout for a more secure connection, and can be assembled and reassembled without affecting the seal. This coupling compression tube fitting has an operating temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F and is suitable for use with fuel and gas systems, plumbing, refrigeration, and vacuum applications.Tube fittings are components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other materials that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others.Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO. ## Features - Coupling fitting for connecting two tubes with the same diameter - Flared tube connection on one side and a female NPT connection on the other - Brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability - Operating temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F - Resists mechanical pullout for a more secure connection - These fittings contain lead and are not allowed by federal law to be installed for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories. ## Product Details - **Size:** 1/4" Flare x 1/8" NPT Female - **Material:** Brass - **Brand:** Anderson Metals - **Color:** Brass - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1 x 1 x 1 inches - **Connector Type:** Flare, NPT, Coupling - **Thread Size:** 1/8 inches - **Exterior Finish:** Brass - **Thread Type:** NPT - **Item Weight:** 0.04 Pounds ## Images ![54046-0402 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/4" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MZbmz9L3L.jpg) ![54046-0402 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/4" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61h0hQmpNML.jpg) ![54046-0402 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/4" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z-KfAM5sL.jpg) ![54046-0402 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/4" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31XfVHDejCL.jpg) ![54046-0402 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/4" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21dYppkCoBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How to connect brinkmann propane tank gauge to a dura heat tt-360 propane(lp) 360 degree tank top heater?** A: The tank gauge and the heater connection should be the same size. If not (I see the tank heater is using the same sized connector as the tank) then I would look at going to the Hardware store that sells tank gauges for 20lb tanks and get one of those. The only concern would be how much the Gauge adds to the length of the hose to the burner, possible causing the tank to be unbalanced. ## Frequently Bought Together - Anderson Metals-54046-0402 Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 1/4" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe - High Pressure Strut Coupler, Aircraft Tool Supply Schrader, No Loss Air Chuck for Shock Inflation 1/8 NPT Fitting, AV556 Shrader Valve Tool - Nitrogen Regulator with 0-600 PSI Delivery Pressure, 60" Hose CGA580 Inlet Connection and 1/4'' Male Flare Outlet Connection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/23824209-54046-0402-brass-tube-fitting-coupling-1-4-flare-x](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/23824209-54046-0402-brass-tube-fitting-coupling-1-4-flare-x) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
